Researchers have developed a new benchmark, TableParseMap, to address the limitations of existing table parsing models in handling complex real-world tables. This benchmark, comprising 916 tables across five challenging scenarios and nine failure types, reveals that even the top-performing parser achieves a TEDS score of only 85.03, indicating significant weaknesses not captured by aggregate scores. To overcome these issues, the team introduced DEC, an agentic framework that enhances existing table parsers without retraining. DEC utilizes a visual language model to decompose large tables, enhance structural perception through re-parsing transformed views, and correct residual errors while maintaining visual consistency.
